Madonna Has Plenty Of Experience On The Silver Screen

As already established, Madonna is one of the genre-defying artists to have ever graced the stage, whose influence in the business is truly without any equal. After all, the blonde goddess managed to break several barriers over the past three decades.

While Madonna has been absent from the silver screen since her voice role in the 2006 animated film Arthur and the Invisibles and her live-action appearance in Die Another Day back in 2002, her cinematic legacy thrived during the 1980s and 1990s. This is especially due to films such as Body of Evidence, A League of Their Own, Evita, Swept Away and more.

Maddona is as successful as they come in the industry, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have regrets.

In a surprising revelation, Madonna revealed that she turned down a role in The Matrix, adding that she still regrets her decision to this day.

“I also turned down the role in The Matrix. Can you believe that? That’s like one of the best movies ever made. A teeny-tiny part of me regrets just that one moment in my life.”

While Madonna didn’t elaborate on the specific role, many have speculated that she was supposed to play Trinity, a character eventually portrayed by Carrie-Anne Moss in the iconic film. That’s not the only film Madonna turned down either, rejecting a role in Batman Returns, where she was supposed to be Catwoman.
